    Reader note

    All three stories involve starting from small forces and growing into powerful ones. The first one begins with a small country and incorporates fantasy elements. The premise is that everyone is randomly transported to another world and takes on various identities, such as ruler, lord, beggar, slave, or merchant, vying for supremacy. The second one also features everyone being transported to another world, but it's entirely a lord-based story. It starts with building a village and recruiting heroes, later seemingly including the Ten Divine Generals of the Tang Dynasty. I've only read up to the point of establishing the kingdom. The third one I've forgotten a bit about; it seems to be about Earth being destroyed, requiring players to enter a game to compete for the chance to expand to a new planet. However, its development is much slower than the second one; I've only reached the county level so far.
